I was surprised by this rule
The 20 ft-lb limit came as a surprise to me. We have in the past used quite a bit more than this to help counterbalance arms. It makes for better machines.
I definitely think the rule limits the capability of robots with big arms. It would be nice to know how FIRST arrived at the 20 ft-lb figure (maybe they used a slingshot... now THERE 20 ft-lbs will do some serious work....)
